Same. The day games start introducing arbitrary resolution limits based on my OS or browser choice, the way streaming sites do, is the day I'll start pirating games.
Piracy, for me, is a matter of functionality, not price.
I am with you. It's all a matter of convenience to me.
Steam, does a pretty good job of what it does. As does GOG.
Now- EA/UBI can suck a big fat one.... but, steam/gog are good so far.
Regarding media, I am with you 100%. It's strictly a matter of convenience. Back in the 20-teens, I didn't even have a plex server running, as netflix was able to handle the majority of my media needs.
When, every fucking network created their own streaming service, and partitioned all of the media behind their own subscriptions, I said fuck that. The collection of linux ISOs keeps growing now.
When it is easier for me to use plex to streaming my Linux ISOs, rather then to use a paid service- THAT is the problem. And, that is why they can get my middle finger.
